..girlfreind.. ex-girlfriend.. mistress, ex-mistress, ex-wife...daughter in law, sister-in-law(especially) and all the other permutations I haven't bothered with listing
i should have added that some worse than others of course but they all possess it to some degree just how they're wired
yesterday i went to red robin craving a burger w an egg on it took like 4 bites and couldn't eat anymore, finished the egg and didn't touch the fries i know red robin isn't the greatest burger or anything but i just felt like i was stuffing myself and didn't enjoy it came home and chopped up some meat and peppers into an omelette weird
I don't know why, but today, taking my older kid to volleyball practice, I was struck by how much I was out of touch with the music of "today". I know I am of the "get out of my lawn" demographic, but I was still struck by how vapid music seems like today. I know that the Buddy Hollys and Big Boppers and early Beatles were the same teeny bop songs that today's youth listen to, but there was always edgy music on the fringes. I guess the question for me is can someone like Bob Dylan, ugly and with a bad voice and curious lyrics, get any chance today? Can someone with anger and a message that was 20 years ahead of her time succeed? I don't know, just something that came up recently...
its out there you just have to look a lot harder when you look back at it there was really just a handful of successful rock musicians they were great but i think today more music gets out there just without the giant cash register of yesteryear
so many hacks out there and a lot of times even the good singers/musicians get restricted by the crap they're forced to play by their label back in old(en) the b-side of 45's was oftentimes better than the featured song that's because the label decided what you would release as a hit and as as throw in they'd give the artists the b side
You are old. You are not supposed to know. Music is a holy language. Encoded with words and sounds that are a meal for the hungry at the right time. You are not hungry, your time has passed. What you are looking for exists but you will never find it. And when it is right in front of your nose you will think it to be utter garbage. As it should be. If you were to be hip to it then it would not be what you are looking for. What you can only look for and never find because it already passed you by. And you are at least 20 years too old to know what the message is behind some angry young twat you have misunderstood because she is 20 years ahead of her time. Which is what any artist is. A person from the next generation, now or an alien from the future, in the present.
We would have these convos with Limey, how he dreaded the end of music as he knew it. I would tell him that music as he knew it is what killed the artistry in music in the first place. Music as he knew it needed to die. Music before was not dependant on labels, ads, corporations, or even radio. Music was people who loved to play/sing because of the joy it brought them. That joy would infuse the audience with a power. Write good songs and the audience returns that power. Musicians lost it when they started depending more on record royalties and endorsements than show revenue. If its all about records (stats) and not about performance (play) the love (fun) is gone. That goes for everything. Eventually people stop buying your records, even your fans.
I have been back on my meds lately. You get both short concise well said posts as well as mega spiels where I know I am typing way too much but am not so self conscious to edit it down or delete it. When im off my meds I edit stuff down and just delete entire posts because of how I come off. When im on my meds I don't care as much how I come off.
It would he great if Kemp and Muncy could get more than a hit per week...maybe this scrub wouldn't be pitching a no-no at us.
